House Hunters on steroids....I watch mostly to see the fabulous NYC condos and town homes on offer to the rich and overly particular (not that I blame them at these prices). Unfortunately, we don't see enough of the properties. Three sleek, polished young men who are top Manhattan realtors raking in millions, apparently still don't have enough and have sold themselves to the Bravo network for even more money. At least two have had acting experience, which is helpful to them, since nearly every scene is clearly scripted and probably has little to do with reality. The problem is, their "supporting players" - developers, brokers, clients, etc., do not have an acting background, making some of the scenes awkward at best. Others seem to relish the idea of hamming it up with gusto on television. There's plenty of drama, of course, as we are brought (reluctantly on my part) into the realtors' personal lives and relationships. This offers lots of opportunity for angst, manufactured and otherwise, and terribly moving moments of Self-Discovery and Self-Actualization....can we just get back to the five-million-dollar condos, please? I confess that despite my cynicism, I'm addicted to this show and its glowing tribute to narcissism. And yep, I'll be back for the new season when our three heroes return rested, freshly botoxed, and ready to perform for the cameras again. I recommend this show for those who enjoy this kind of thing - and know how to take it with a BIG grain of salt.
... View MoreGreat different personalities which are the ideal ingredient for exciting entertainment. On top of this you learn a lot about inside how the real estate market works. Useful when buying/selling a house. Fredrik is my favorite one. When I'm going to buy or sell a house it will be with him!
... View MoreI love this show! I am just now getting caught up on season 3 when I had the absolute displeasure of having to watch Sonja's friend Ian! That man is an ASS! He obviously suffers from little man syndrome and can't afford an assist to pick up his dry cleaning or a dog walker to walk his dog! I'm sure after seeing him on TV his business has suffered tremendously and if he did have a significant other ( which I highly doubt) he will be single and alone for the rest of his lonely miserable life! I am amazed at how well "Ricky Ricardo" handled himself with Ian, it shows his true professionalism and love for his career. Looking forward to another great season!
... View MoreAs for me, I hate reality shows and all the stuff related to that, but anyway, I really enjoyed this show. The truth is that personalities of this sickly rich, self centered people who care just about the money, luxury and their own well-being sickens me, (not mentioning their behaviour) however, it's interesting to see how does it work in that kind of "universe". I'm gonna give it ten because it really caught me and sucked me in, can't wait for the next episode. So if you're interested in what do 10 million apartments in New York look like and how can a guy earn an amount of your life savings in a minute, then go ahead and check it out.
